This is one of the most complete,
informative, and concise discussions about
uncircumcision that I have read in 25 years in the
men's movement.
The author, a pediatrician, states:
"In all my years of practice, I've never had a
patient who had to be circumcised for medical
reasons. When a doctor advises that your son be
circumcised, it's usually because he or she is
unfamiliar with the intact penis, misinformed about
the true indications for surgical amputation of the
foreskin, unaware of the function of the foreskin,
and uncomfortable with the movement away from
routine circumcision. Probably, the only problem
you will encounter with the foreskin of your intact
boy is that someone will think that he has a
problem."
If you have an uncircumcised son and
a doctor ever recommends circumcision, just say no.
If they mention phimosis, ballooning, UTI,
paraphimosis or BXO, circumcision is only the
answer to an uninformed doctor. Each one can be
dealt with simply and without surgical amputation.
So, if you have an uncircumcised son or ever plan
to have a son, buy this issue. It goes on for 7
pages of information and resources at your
newsstands until December 31, 2000. www.mothering.com
